WTB: Double Handled Ascender

[stheis004]

Hi all, new to the forum....I'm looking to pick up a double handled ascender that will be used for foot-locking. Please let me know if you have one you'd be willing to let go. Thanks!

Here's another idea to consider,

Ditch the footlocking setup and shift to a rope walker type SRT setup. This is much more efficient and the ergonomic benefits are indisputable.

All climbers should know how to footlock, its a basic skill. But, I don't think it should be used as much as it is.

OK...back to regular programming.

stheis004, where are you located? I have a Petzl Ascentree that I don't use and would be willing to part with. Send me a message and we can talk about price and shipping......

- Tom, thanks for that option/idea. While I'm fairly new to full time tree climbing and have't tried a rope walking system yet, I am still in the mindset of wanting a good workout while climbing and am digging the footlock.

- Prana, thanks for the reply, just sent a pm

- Scrat, thanks the welcome, it looks to be a great community here with lots of info I will surely benefit from

I tend to agree with everyone else. There are better options. However, if you're still looking for a double handled ascender I have a Kong Trender I can sell you. PM me if interested.
